Happy Sunday!
We hope you all are enjoying your weekend! As a reminder, our FINAL meeting of the year will be held on Monday, May 8th at 7pm in Mahar Auditorium. We will be hosting a Game Night event to wrap up the semester and de-stress before finals! All are welcome to join us for this free event, complete with snacks and fun prizes!

Craig's Doors Sock Drive: Craig's Doors is a local emergency shelter that serves as a center for those in need of resources, support, and referrals.
